New York, NY, October 28, 2026 —
A mural spanning more than 307 feet now adorns the 29-story Morrisania Air Rights public housing development in the South Bronx. The work, titled Un MAR de Gente/From Every Shore, is described as the tallest mural in the United States.
The mural features depictions of community members and is intended to celebrate the neighborhood’s legacy, according to the information provided about the project. Its title combines Spanish and English, rendered as “Un MAR de Gente/From Every Shore.”
The development is also known as MAR. No further details were provided about the artists, the mural’s completion date, the project’s cost or the process used to select the people depicted. The information available does not specify how the mural’s height was measured or whether the distinction has been independently verified.
The description identifies the work’s location, scale and subject, but provides no additional information about its design, funding or reception by residents. It also does not provide statements from the artists, housing officials or community members. The mural’s reported dimensions and national distinction therefore remain the central details available about the project.
At more than 307 feet, the mural covers a high-rise public housing development and brings images of community members onto its exterior. The account links the work to the South Bronx neighborhood’s legacy, without specifying particular historical events or individuals represented.
